Oratene Water Additive

If you own a pet then you need this to help keep their teeth clean! My vet recommended it to me a couple of years ago & it’s made a huge difference in the health of their teeth. My vet said it helps stop plaque build up on their teeth & I believe him. Before I’d spend $800 per dog every year just to get their teeth cleaned, now they go every 18 months. Hey, if it saves me THAT much money then I’m happy to keep spending $18 every couple of months. Very easy product to use, just put it in their water, stir and it does the rest for you. There’s no smell. The dogs & even the cat don’t seem to know it’s in their water. So win, win!

I bought this to help keep my cat water fountain cleaner, and eliminate the sliminess that gets around the filter. It has been working great and also has a benefit of keeping bacteria down in my cat and Dog’s mouth.

I've been using Oratene's Drinking Water Additive for my 8 year old pit-mix for about 2 weeks now. I was drawn to this product because it appears to be the veterinary line produced by Biotene, which is a human mouthwash that I have sworn by for years. After trying another water additive a while back, I was reluctant to try any others. It had been minty flavored (not in itself a downside, except that I think my dog was opposed to the flavor) and it caused the water to foam. Suffice it to say, my pup wouldn't get NEAR that water. That was probably a year ago, and recently I decided to look for another product to hopefully help combat her bad breath. Her teeth are in great shape, and she has been given a Dentastix snack every night since she was a puppy, but all the same, her breath is pretty off-putting. It doesn't take much of the Oratene per bowl of water - so it feels like the 4 oz. bottle it will probably last a while, even with using it (*ahem* when I remember) in two separate bowls (I keep one with her food, and one in my bedroom so she can get a drink at night if she's thirsty). I was immediately pleased to discover that it does NOT make the water foam, nor does it have a smell. In fact, my pup doesn't seem to notice it's there at all, and she continues to drink from the bowls. I have seen some improvement in her breath, and I think I'll likely see more once I get better about putting the Oratene in her bedroom bowl as well - as she actually favors that bowl in general. Overall, I'm very pleased with this product, and I anticipate keeping it on hand at all times. I will update this review once I've been consistently putting the Oratene in -both- water bowls so I can give a better idea as to how effective it has been.

I've tried other similar products, giving them all a month or so to work with no success. I wanted to try this product too, feeling hopeful from the reviews. It's amazing and works in my cat's regularly cleaned fountain without any issue. He drinks water often and since there has been no change in his water intake since using this additive, I know he doesn't realize it's in there. The only change I've witnessed is positive, his breath becoming much better than I ever thought it could be. My boy is very squirmy when it comes to brushing, so I feel like this is a nice alternative to that. I've asked my vet how his teeth look every time I take him in for checkups and she's told me they look great. He's needed teeth extractions in the past, but I really believe this will help prevent any further series issues not related to genetics. I'm so happy to have found something that works!!

The product is great! Five stars. Cured our dogs breath as she is too old for another dental cleaning, etc. The problem is that the item is half the size 4 oz compared to the 8oz which is sold cheaper at other sites. My fault for not looking closely at the size before ordering. Just assumed that 18.99 would be the cost of the larger bottle.

The ONLY thing my dog can take for his teeth that doesn’t cause him to throw up or have diarrhea. He actually runs to his water when i drop these. He has a tooth problem so i feel like he gets excited for the drops because it soothes him. (this does not replace vet care only provides soothing in my opinion)

Dasher is very picky with his dog food. And water. And so far he's drinking water just like he used to do. And I've noticed the . Effectiveness on his breath and his teeth. Taste is not bothering him. Thanks again Pet King .

This product simply does not work. I am a veterinary student and unfortunately learned about proper water additives for cats/dogs after purchasing this product. According to the doctor I studied under the ingredient to look for in water additives is CHLORHEXIDINE (an antiseptic/disinfectant) which is NOT in this product. Along with that, since water additives are not technically a medication there is no approval process they must go through to make sure they do what they are claiming, which seems to be exactly what happened with this product. I followed the instructions of “changing water daily” and still found mold/mildew in my cats water bowl which never happened before using this product. And arguably my cats breath smelled worse since using this. I don’t normally leave reviews but I am very upset at how much false advertising this product has been plastered with and I hope that people can learn from my mistakes and do extensive research to find the proper water additives for their pet before spending almost $20 on a product that turns out is non-refundable.

I recently purchased the V-Oratene Drinking Water Additive for my dog, hoping it would help with his oral hygiene and bad breath. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem to work as expected. I followed the instructions carefully, but I didn’t notice any improvement in his breath or overall dental health. While I like the idea of a simple water additive, it just didn’t have the desired effect on my dog. He still has the same level of bad breath, and I’m not sure if it helped with plaque or tartar either.

Excellent pour chien!

Product arrived in good time ahead of expected delivery date. Easy to use and my cat hasn't noticed any change in her drinking water. Her teeth look better - has helped with tartar build-up.

I mistakingly ordered the 4oz bottle instead of the 8oz. The 8 oz is actually cheaper. Good product otherwise. This would be my third order.

but expensive.
